Case 1 single photon emission CT (SPECT) calculated change after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) compared to baseline. In the Top two rows colors, represent maximal functional brain activity relative to the entire brain activity; in the Bottom row, colors represent regional changes in functional brain activity. White and red areas show the biggest relative changes in cerebral blood flow/perfusion. Significant changes can be seen at the right prefrontal and temporal areas (white). Abbreviations: Analysis of brain SPECT performed pre- and post HBOT showed the highest relative increase in activity (>15%) in the visual cortex (BA 19), prefrontal cortex (BA 9), orbito-frontal gyrus (BA 11), and paratemporal cortex (BA 37).
